A PRIMITIVE EVOLUTION release new video for ‘The Beauty’

A Primitive Evolution (A.P.E.) is an alternative rock band based in Toronto, Canada. Formed in2007, they have developed at their own pace, creating a constantly evolving soundtrack utilisingtheir brand of dark electronic metal.

The group has undergone its latest mutation with the production of their third album, ’Becoming’,which was recorded at their own self-built Desolation Studios and includes collaborations withwriter/producer Ian D’Sa (Billy Talent) and engineer Kenny Luong (Metric).

Raw and visceral yet displaying soul and beauty, the 13 tracks that comprise ’Becoming’ blur theboundaries between rock, metal and electronica and show off an array of influences that includeNine Inch Nails, The Cure, Tool, The Prodigy, Ministry, Radiohead, Alice In Chains and Guns N’Roses.

Describing A.P.E.’s place in the grand scheme of things, frontman Brett Caruthers waxesphilosophically : “Creation is evolution. That’s what I figure we’re trying to say with A PrimitiveEvolution. As evolved as we think we are as humans or animals, we are very much at thebeginning of the evolution of mankind. We have so much to learn and yet so much has changedin the last hundred years. We have a long way to go as a species. We want our band to reflectthat too, showing our raw emotions, doing it out of instinct and evolving naturally; not overthinking,just having some fun existing on this planet.”

With featured inclusion in films such as ‘Chastity Bites’ and the vampire musical ‘Suck’, A.P.E.’smusic has also been used in several TV shows, while locally they received the ‘Best Rock Band’gong at the 2015 Toronto Independent Music Awards. They have also spent long periods of timeon tour and have played showcases for festivals such as Indie Week and Canadian Music Week.
